Vitamin Patches?
I just got mine yesterday. I asked the dr. last time and he said just to make sure they had everything I needed and the numbers to go with them. They do. I will se them for a few weeks. I could not chew the Vitamins without gagging, so this is better than nothing!

So depressed, I almost cried in Dr's office.
He told me Im doing well and not to worry about it. He told me the loss will be like steps and landings, not like a slide. Ive heard of the 3 week stall, but technically its been week 2 and 3 stall for me. I feel like im doing so well, not 1 cheat and doing everything possible and NOTHING. It will take a few days to get rid if the funk and the feeling that Ive wasted my time.

So depressed, I almost cried in Dr's office.
So, I went for my 3 week follow up today. Since ive been there 2 WEEKS ago I have lost 1 pound. 1 freaking pound. A week of pureed mush under 800 calories, close to my Protein and liquid goals, and I lose A pound! It took all my strength not to break down and cry from frustration. WTH? I am so disheartened.

Very grouchy husband after vgs
No, not at all. My husband has been super supportive at every turn. You husband is insecure about the new you. He may need reassurance that you did this for you and no one else. Explain to him how you need his support and that you want him with you every step of the way.

So much acid. Not sleeping.
Yes, I have trouble with acid especially a few months before surgery. No over the counter meds work for me. The dr gave me another script but that helped less than the Nexium

1st post=op visit complete!
So happy for you!My mom had her sleeve 6 weeks ago and said she never thought shed be so excited to eat cottage cheese! I'm wondering... How did your first week post op go? I'm 3 days out and I'm struggling so much. I hear and see so many different stories that i guess I'm just reaching for some hope right about now! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App I was sleeved 8/30 and have been very happy so far. I have been working on getting my Protein and Water up. So far I'm getting about 45 grams protein and 40 oz water. I can definite tell when I take too big of a sip I will feel a really big bubble in my tummy. What are you struggling with??? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Getting my protein in I'm getting about 50 if I'm lucky some days liquid is is hard sometimes I do ok
